Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water in a fine mesh strainer.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until quinoa is fluffy and water is absorbed.
  3. In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and salt until combined.
  4. Once the quinoa is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the lemon mixture gently.
  5. Divide the quinoa into bowls and top with fresh blueberries and sliced almonds. Drizzle with extra honey if desired.

Notes

Note: You can prepare the quinoa in advance for a quick morning meal. Just reheat it in the microwave and add your toppings!

For a creamier texture, try adding a few spoonfuls of Greek yogurt on top. If you want to switch it up, feel free to use other fruits like strawberries or raspberries in place of blueberries.

This breakfast bowl can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just keep the quinoa and the toppings separate until you’re ready to eat to maintain freshness!
